Re-Do: The Movie Edition

[MickeyMouse10]

I know Maleficent made a lot of money, but it is an awful movie. And I honestly don’t know whose dumb idea it was to hand over the movie to the villain. But dumb, dumb, that person should have been fired… even though it made a ton of money haha. I guess if a movie gets a big star for something Disney will totally ruin the story for them.


Furthermore casting Angelina Jolie in the role is beyond wrong. She ruined the movie with her usual over the top British accent. Plus what’s with the look, why does she have fake cheekbones and strange eye contacts. Have they seen the original movie. Jolie’s outside life is too well known and it has now hindered her acting career and ability to hide in her roles. … And for Christ’s sake villains don’t have to always be sympathetic. They can still be totally evil. You don’t need to give them a sympathetic reason for what they’re doing. The viewers don’t need to feel bad for them, they can be awful people and still be loved (see every great Disney Animation Villain). Especially… Maleficent, the Mistress of Evil. They seem to give her the lionshare of the screen time and tell more of her backstory than Aurora’s. And her story is completely made up and lame. They provide something that no one even wanted in the first place. She completely overshadowed who should have been the real star, Aurora a.k.a. Briar Rose.

Now to her, the costar in her own movie… Aurora. Elle Fanning, I’ve got a problem with her as well for the role of Aurora. She was just too young to play the role of Aurora (14). Though she did look the part, it was a little weird to have someone so young in a romantic role. The age gap was too much between her and the guy who played Phillip (24 years). Aurora is supposed to be at least 16 or 17 years old. It’s hard to feel anything for someone who would be a freshman in high school and her college graduate boyfriend.


The following cast probably wouldn’t make the film as much money, but it would be a much better overall movie. That is actually true to the original animated film.

Madison Iseman as Aurora

Keneti James Fitzgerald Apa as Prince Phillip

Noomi Rapace as Maleficent





also



Helen Mirren, Emma Thompson and Lesley Nicol as The Fairies

I concur, Angelina Jolie was actually one my favorite actresses early on in her career. But she seemed to self sabotage her career. That happens with actors, sometimes they think their opinions and lives matter more than they actually do.

Yeah, it's too bad. She was great in "Girl, interrupted".

I don't know who the chick is that's Aurora, but she looks like a veerrrry nice choice.

She was in Henry Danger, the two Jumanji films, the second Goosebumps movie, and in a episode of American Horror Stories.

Yeah, it's time to put the sleeping beauty back in sleeping beauty. Since Disney is so uncreative, they'll someday remake all of their cartoons again. Maybe then we'll get a real version of this movie and the Little Mermaid. ....Heck Snow White too, with real dwarfs.

Yep, they've been hiring based on dei for at least 5 years or so rather than abilities. Which is why they now suck in many aspects of their company. Normal people don't care about that junk. Just like with going to the doctors, you want the best at that profession. It honestly doesn't matter if they are mostly all green aliens, if they are doing the best job. Their problem is they're like "Hey there should be more orange aliens getting positions." But by doing that they aren't hiring based on abilities anymore, but based on appearance. You wouldn't say we need to change whose playing in the NBA right??? Nope, because you just want the best and who will win. And also create the best looking product.

The Fairies could actually steal the live action movie. They do in the animated version really. With the back and forth between them. They all seem awesome casted well, even the third lady, she'd just need dark hair.

Oh yeah, I love those parts of the movie. Maleficent didn't seem to capture anything from the original. It's like they've never seen it.

A live action remake of Sleeping Beauty in the 90s could work as well. Especially with Anjelica Huston as Maleficent.

That is a very interesting idea, to factor in different decades. I saw an AI that did it with the Avengers in the 90's, Denzel Washington was Black Panther.
